很多人以為”便當”是 lunch box
但事實上 lunch box 是”便當盒”
所以你當然不能說: I’m going to eat a lunch box.
這樣就貽笑大方啦!
事實上英文裡的複合名詞, 一定都是把那個東西到底是什麼放在後面的名詞
比如 taxi driver 就是個 driver
所以 lunch box 當然就是個 box
”便當”的正確說法是 a boxed lunch / a boxed meal
字面上的意思是”裝在盒子裡的午餐 / 餐”
如果是晚上吃便當, 就會說 a boxed meal 囉
另外也有個說法叫 bento
是從日文進入英文的外來語單字
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bento 所以也可以說: I’m having a bento for lunch / dinner.
或 I’m having a bento lunch / dinner.
一般以英文為母語的人都知道 bento 是什麼哦

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
